Swing states are the ones that provide the 215th through 323rd electoral votes.

I have never heard anyone use the phrase ‘swing state’ for this, even ignoring the bizarre specificity of the range. (So: is this a joke?) A swing state is one that is close and could go either way.

Mondale was from Minnesota so Reagan gave him a break and didn't put resources there (and even so, Mondale barely eked it out).
